Managed Connected Router 4G and WiFi
Public cellular infrastructure has many benefits that make it a great complement to private infrastructure. Due to its simple deployment, ubiquitous coverage, and reduced operating costs, public network utilization is on the rise. GE has developed an integrated networking device to utilize public infrastructure and extend industrial communications networks. In addition to serial and Ethernet interfaces, MDS Orbit MCR-4G supports both cellular and WiFi communications in a single, integrated package, without the need for additional modules or add-ons, thus reducing costs and network complexity. MDS Orbit MCR-4G is a highly secure, industrial hardened, wireless communications product for broad based applications, such as control center monitoring, well site pad operations, and video surveillance.
